Phoenix Zoo


This last Weekend we went down to Phoenix to visit Jeff while he worked. We decided to take the kids to the zoo. They loved it. It was fun to see what animals they liked. The Tiger scared Dandin, but he loved petting the goats. Ryland liked the Meerkats, and Tasia liked the Giraffes.
Sorry about the word proof throughout the picture. That is the only way to
get it, unless I wanted to pay a fortune on the pictures.

Christmas Morning 2008


Christmas morning our kids woke up at six and were very excited to open their presents. Ryland was the first to wake us up. He was so excited, he kept yelling "Santa came, Santa came." It was fun to watch the kids get excited about their presents. I love this picture, the kids are all waiting patiently. That is probably the only time they sat quietly.


Our little princess Linnea

A couple of days before Christmas, Ryland informed us that he wanted Santa to bring him his very own camping tent. Thank goodness Santa had time to add it to his list of presents. Ry absolutely loves it.

Tasia and Ryland had fun playing and taking a nap in the tent. Thanks Aunt Sara and Uncle Eric for the pj's. They love them. That is all the Ryland wants to wear now. All day, every day. It is like pulling teeth to get him in anything else. The pj's remind me of Dr. Suess.

Here's mini Jeff (Dandin). I can't believe how much he looks like Daddy. I loved to see the excitment on his face when he would open his presents. This age is so precious.


Tasia's special present from Santa. Her own drawing desk. She loves to draw and color, so Santa
(aka daddy) built a beautiful desk for her. He did an awesome job on it.

This is the boys special present from Santa (aka Daddy). He also built the rocking horse. For never building anything before, Jeff did great. They look very professional. He could sell the rocking horse.
